All this means that British men don't really know what they're supposed to do with dates and may not even consider themselves to be on a date.There are no set of rules that everybody knows and interprets in the same way -except that women are expected to buy rounds of drinks same as the men, and they should offer to split the bill at a restaurant.

This could be purely because you have certain justified expectations of how a man ought to behave on a date but even simple things, like booking a table, arranging a place to meet can seem to them like hard work.Also British men are shy and they expect women to take the initiative, so a mere kiss goodnight could be interpreted as quite dismissive.British men are also less sexist than most other men and less likely to jump to conclusions about women being 'easy'.I have had several long term relationships and, if one were to judge the number of contacts made and dates gone on, then I've been rather "successful" with the internet dating.I am an American that has lived and worked in London for just over four years as a literary agent.
